EXCHANGE-traded funds (ETFs), as the emerging mutual product fund segment in India, have positively redefined the value proposition for investors. Despite an increasing overlap of the ETF concept with exchange traded products, the crucial difference is that, ETFs are mutual funds that are available only through exclusive medium of stock exchanges.
